The future is here....And Armani owns it. Armani Prive put out a sleek, shimmering collection from the far reaches of the galaxy. The skirts and dresses were long, slim and body conscious. The fabrics were reflective or metallic. The sci-fi type effects were achieved with metal threads woven into silk. Organza was give a mirror-like finish.
Accessories were a range of flying saucer type hats by Philip Treacy. There matching reflective clutch handbags paired with over-sized jewels.. Lipstick was a deep eggplant for a severe, futuristic look.
Critics were divided on this collection. Giorgio Armani was always synonymous with the color beige, classic elegance and timeless sophistication. This collection diverted away from that. It might alienate some die-hard fans, but gain some new aliens in the process...(sorry, cheap one, I know.) I personally loved it. Some of the silhouettes were a little tough for a non-model like me to wear, but something I can aspire to? I loved the color palette and textures.
Spotted in the Front Row: Jodie Foster, Sophia Loren, Olivia Wilde
